Misery Loves Company
Chapter 1: Getting Ready
In the depths of the Atlantic Ocean lay a beautiful city of lights. Many fairy tales of the ancient Kingdom of Atlantica have been told, describing the city as a large colony with buildings made of various shades and colours of coral and hundreds of coloured lights floating on strings of seaweed. What humans do not know, is that there truly is a Kingdom of such greatness and wonder, and even more. The creatures that have tails of a fish and the upper body of a human inhabit this glorious kingdom. Sparkling eyes like gems and hair of silk, they swim and dance with their tails shimmering like glass as they greet one another. They are merpeople; creatures of the sea. The colony is like one giant family, helping when one is in need and cheering one when they are sad.
One family, though, is some what separated from the rest as the owner and ruler of the kingdom. In a glamorous palace in the center of the kingdom, the family lives. King Triton, the king of Atlantica, lives with his seven daughters Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella, Allana, and Ariel, along with hundreds of maids and servants.
Currently, said palace is busy with preparations for the upcoming meeting with King Philip and Queen Adromeda, the king and queen of the city along the Atlantic coast, at the surface. In one particular room of the palace, a maid of about ten years of age is frantically trying to persuade her princess to prepare for the meeting by putting on a fluffy, pink, glittery dress.
"Please, Princess Ariel!" cried the poor maiden, " Just put the dress on! We must hurry if we do not wish to be left behind as your father and sisters leave for the meeting with the king and queen at the surface!"
The maid, known to all as June, is a very shy and secluded girl. She has sparkling, silver cat-like eyes and long violet hair pulled back into a long braid with a few strands of hair loose. She is wearing a royal purple seashell bra with silver beads and has a lilac coloured tail. She has lived in the palace for her entire life and had become the youngest princess's personal maid and friend at the age of five. Her father, Edward, is the head commander in the Atlantica army and has shown June many techniques of defense and offense to protect the princess, and herself, with.
"I refuse!! I mean, come on! It's hideous!!" protested Princess Ariel as she dodged another one of June's attempts at catching her.
Princess Ariel is very outspoken, yet kind. She is nine years of age and is every bit an explorer when something new is found. She has bright blue eyes and long, wavy red hair. She is wearing her trademark deep purple seashell bra and has a light green tail. She is the youngest of the seven daughters of Triton and is known for her gorgeous features and magnificent voice.
"You only have to wear this dress once," reasoned June, "Since your father, personally, bought you this dress, he expects you to wear it for this meeting. After the meeting, I promise you, we can hide it in the back of your closet, where it will never be seen, again. How does that sound?"
Ariel's face brightened at her friend's suggestion. Many times had June ended up negotiating with the stubborn princess on wearing certain clothes on which Ariel dubbed, "girly". Unfortunately, along with having a wonderful voice and features, Princess Ariel was also known for her tomboyish side. She would plainly state that she would prefer to explore the sea then to tidy her hair and doll herself up.
"Fine," Ariel sighed as she gave in to her pleading friend, "but this dress is coming off the second we get back."
"Alright," June smiled in relief as she passed the pink dress to the young princess, "A deal's a deal."
Ariel's face cringed in disgust as she slipped on the dress and allowed June to brush all the knots out of her flowing red hair.
Well? Any good? Should I put up chapter 2 or just take this down?
